I agree s8, The language is negative and it does not suit Rudds image..placid intellectual. He should get a new speech writer. War on everything uuuur.
Perhaps we could tolerate a more dismissive approach to some of the piffle the opposition carry on about..That would work for someone of high IQ...and save a lot of time being wasted on petty point scoring.
and then he could counter that with genuine interest in subjects of worth... I think that I could relate to a schoolarly approach from Rudd rather that an aggressive statesmanly image...which doesnt work for mine.
Stick to your true personality ..Ruddsy..be interested to learn and teach/inform the electorate. Dismiss the drivel and people might sit up and listen. Now is a time of abundant information and learning.. so Rudd should represent that thirst for knowledge and its consequent tolerance and truth. That would appeal to many I believe.
I want a Prime Minister who represents Australia well.. as I hope everyone does.
Lets have scholar Rudd coming up with new ways forward through learning and international partnerships. Thats his fortay and it could be Australias.
